Investing

The idea is simple enough: After you work for money, you save some, so it can work for you.

Of course, in these days of low interest rates, your bank accounts won’t work too hard for you — and many other investments involve risking losing that hard-earned capital.

My thought: “They say you can make your money work for you, but my money seems a bit lazy lately.”

47. Robert Kiyosaki: “We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.”

48. Ron Chernow: “One of the very nice things about investing in the stock market is that you learn about all different aspects of the economy. It’s your window into a very large world.”

49. Paul Samuelson: “Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas.”

50. John Maynard Keynes: “Successful investing is anticipating the anticipations of others.”

51. Bill Ackman: “Investing is a business where you can look very silly for a long period of time before you are proven right.”

52. Kevin Rose: “The key to making money in angel investing is saying no. You meet with 100 companies and say no to 99 of them.”

53. Donald Trump: “Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.”

Money and Ethics

There’s an old joke in which a shop owner explains ethics to his son: “Today a customer gave me a $20 bill thinking it was $5, so I gave him change for $5. Ethics, my son, is about whether I should split the $15 profit with my partner or keep it myself.”

But seriously, where do we draw the ethical lines when it comes to money?

My thought: “I figure that before I try any unethical ways to make money, I’ll work my way through all of the ethical ways — and that should take a lifetime.”

54. Benjamin Franklin: “He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.”

55. Will Smith: “Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.”

56. Muhammad Ali: “My principles are more important than the money or my title.”

95. Jack Handey: “I hope that when I die, people say about me, ‘Boy, that guy sure owed me a lot of money.’”

96. Edith Wharton: “The only way not to think about money is to have a great deal of it.”

97. Oscar Wilde: “When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.”

98. George Carlin: “Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.”

99. Spike Milligan: “All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.”

100. George Bernard Shaw: “Very few people can afford to be poor.”

101. Elizabeth Taylor: “Money is the best deodorant.”
